[The intro for Danko Jones' Code of the Road begins to play as footage is seen from last week's Driven.]
Benson: Ladies and Gentlemen… it is now time for your main event…
[We see Barrett Hawk stretching out his arms and preparing for the match, as Logan looks calm, cool and collected prior to the bell ringing.]
I live by the code of the road
[We see clips of Mike Logan and Barrett Hawk locking horns.]
Every single night of my life
[We see Mike Logan slap Hawk in the mouth, who responds with a hard punch back.]
Nobody knows a single place I go
Nelson: Barrett Hawk’s showing he’s not going to take any guff tonight from Mike Logan!
City by city, night after night
Been a long time on this lonely road yeah
[Hawk hip tosses Logan to the mat.]
Nothing Comes Easy But It s Worth The Fight
[Hawk hits a dropkick.]
If you ve seen it once, I ve seen it twice before
Little By Little, Night After Night
[Logan stands on the outside of the ring collecting himself.]
You ve been waiting for this all of you life yeah
[We see various clips of different points of the match, Barrett Hawk delivering a chop to the chest of Logan, Logan hitting the Logan Stomp.]
The time is now to go
[Logan hitting a spinebuster.]
No hesitation, no backing down now
[Barrett Hawk hitting the Southern Guillotine.]
So just take it away
[We see Barrett Hawk climbing the turnbuckle. Then we see Hawk hitting his finishing move.]
Nelson: COUNTRY BUMP! We may have a new number one contender!
[The music dies down as Hawk attempts the pin to no avail.]
Tiger: And Sabrina Swallows doing what she does best, providing a distraction for Barrett Hawk!
Hart: Hey, she’s doing what she’s gotta do! She could distract me anytime!
[We move ahead a few moments as Hawk turns around to a recovered Logan hitting him with the Title.]
Nelson: NO! NOT LIKE THIS! NO!
Benson: Ladies and Gentlemen… the winner of the match as a result of a disqualification… Barrett Hawk.
[The screen goes black and white as we see Hawk sitting on his knees disappointed.]
Hart: Logan isn't gonna give Hawk a Title shot on a disqualification, there's no taking the easy way out!
[But then the music picks up as color returns to the screen, as we see Tony Awesome making a stride down to the ring.]
Nelson: Well justice might come sooner than later, it's Tony Awesome!
Benson: cWo owner Tony Awesome has just informed me, as a result of tonight's match, Barrett Hawk is now number one contender for the cWo World Heavyweight Championship!
[As the music plays in the background we hear and see the sights and sounds of celebrating fans.]
Benson: Barrett Hawk will receive his due Title shot, next week at Driven!
Hart: What!
Nelson: That's more like it!
Tiger: He definitely made the right call there.
[Music continues to play as we see the outraged reaction from Mike Logan.]
Nelson: Great news to close out the show, for the third consecutive week Mike Logan faces Barrett Hawk and this time it's under Title contention. That's gonna be huge!
[The camera pans around the Qwest Center in Omaha, Nebraska as fireworks go off from the ceiling shooting towards the stage. The stage alights on both sides, then fireworks erupt from both sides of the cWo tron. The camera then focuses on the crowd, highlighting such signs as “Boy! I sure hope Mac Johnson shows up!” “cWo needs a Simple Champion” and “Face Turn - Turn 360 degrees and walk away” The camera then focuses on Joel Nelson, Peter Tiger and Robbie Hart seated at the announce position.]
Nelson: Well the introductory package sets the stage for the rest of the evening folks.
Tiger: Makes our job easy! It's a pay per view like atmosphere tonight as Mike Logan and Barrett Hawk are squaring off tonight under World Title implications!
Hart: It's the last chance for Barrett Hawk and the outlook isn't good! The World Championship is the proverbial carrot being dangled in front of Hawk's face and tonight Logan keeps on doing what he does best!
Nelson: We may have a new World Champion at the end of the night, but that's not all we have in store for you tonight.
Tiger: That's right...
[A graphic highlights Chazz Mendel being in action tonight.]
Tiger: After a long hiatus from competition, Chazz Mendel returns to Driven tonight.
Nelson: After a string of family issues and nagging injuries, Chazz hopes to return to form and get back to business as usual. We expect many twists and turns tonight, with little unded two weeks left before Eye of the Storm.
Tiger: It's bound to be a wild ride Joel.
DING DING DING
Dixon: The following women’s contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first – from Lincoln, Nebraska… she is Lisa Schumaker!
[Some generic rock music plays over the arena, and Lisa Schumaker appears from backstage and walks on down to the ring.]
Nelson: Not much is known about this Lisa Schumaker gal. She’s 25 and from Nebraska, she has some wrestling experience and was once a former model also.
Hart: Like we couldn’t figure that out? Damn…
Dixon: And her opponent – from Waterbury, Connecticut… she is MAD MADDIE!!!
[“High Roller” by The Crystal Method plays over the arena, and Mad Maddie walks out from backstage with a microphone in hand. She stops at the top of the entrance way.]
Maddie: Well well well, if it isn’t whoever the hell you are. Let me tell you something bitch, consider it an honor to be facing the superstar I am. You’re quite fortunate to have the opportunity to get your ass kicked by me. So take this as a learning lesson for whatever career you think you’re gonna have in this industry.
[Maddie just puts her head down and stops for a few seconds, before picking it back up.]
Maddie: I was champion of this women’s division for five months, and all of a sudden this company throws me some schmuck off the street just because I lost to Bellatrix Drake. Just a few weeks ago, I owned this division. And now this bitch gets lucky and they throw me under the goddamn bus. And bitches in the back be cheering, that I’m finally not the champion anymore and my reign was a fluke. But guess what, I’m coming back for the anointed one and taking that [beep] throne from underneath her.
[She pauses again, with Schumaker in the ring looking bored. Maddie then starts walking towards the ring.]
Maddie: So little miss eager in the ring, I have a challenge for you. Since you want to make the most of this opportunity – how about we make this more fun for everyone. How about some… bare knuckle boxing?
Nelson: What?
Tiger: This girl wants nothing more than a fistfight, why are we not surprised?
Hart: She is an warrior, a true working class hero.
Nelson: And it looks like Schumaker has agreed to this matchup. So it’s Mad Maddie the former champion vs. Lisa Schumaker in the closest thing to a legalized bar fight we’ve seen.
Hart: Look at the poor girl, the look on her face. She’s about to be thrown to the hungry wolf.
DING DING DING
Nelson: And we are under way in this bare knuckle boxing match. Maddie is walking towards Schumaker, fists raised. But Schumaker is already on the defensive.
Tiger: And a big right swung from Maddie, but Schumaker ducks out of the way.
[The two dance around in the ring, arms up waiting for the other to throw a punch. Schumaker takes one step in, before Maddie swings. Schumaker ducks, but gets a jab to the left.]
Nelson: And not surprisingly, Maddie’s landed the first hit.
Tiger: But Schumaker counters.
[Schumaker pushes away Mad Maddie, but to not much luck as Maddie makes her way in and starts throwing more left jabs and right punches.]
Tiger: This is just awkward to watch.
Hart: I hope this doesn’t come down to the judges scoring.
Tiger: There’d be judges for this?
Hart: Sure, I mean… there are three of us here.
Nelson: Since when are we judges Robbie?
Hart: Who knows.
Tiger: The two are still dancing around in the ring right now.
[Maddie lunges out with a right hand, which lands on the shoulder of Schumaker. Schumaker grabs her arm, only for Maddie to hit her with a strong left in the jaw.]
Nelson: Hard left, and Schumaker is down.
[Schumaker just looks down at the mat, then turns around to see Maddie standing and waiting for her to get up.]
Hart: The animal senses the prey is weakened.
Nelson: I wouldn’t count Schumaker out yet.
Hart: I would, she’s the one that accepted this crazy match.
[Schumaker is back on her feet, and fists up ready to defend. She takes one step forward, and throws a left. But Maddie backs up, then throws a strong right at Schumaker. Schumaker takes the hit, then backs up a few feet. Maddie charges after her, then pushes her into the ropes.]
Nelson: And Johnny Williams is breaking this up.
Tiger: Oh, and a left from Schumaker.
[Maddie quickly shakes it off.]
Nelson: And Schumaker with a left to Maddie in the stomach. And another.
Tiger: Oh, and Maddie with a right. Nearly missed her nose.
Nelson: Didn’t look like a hard hit.
[Schumaker grabs Maddie by the head, and puts her in a headlock. Maddie throws a few punches to her kidneys.]
Nelson: And Williams again having to step in and break this up.
[The two get broken up, and dance around in the ring some more. Schumaker then comes in with a left, and Maddie ducks. She grabs Schumaker by the waist and pushes her into the ropes, then pushing off and throwing a right hand. Schumaker ducks, then gives a left jab to Maddie’s midsection.]
Nelson: This may be one of the more strange things I’ve seen in the cWo ring.
[Schumaker takes a second to catch her breath, but takes a strong right hand from Maddie.]
Tiger: I think I might have heard that one from over here.
Nelson: Two, three, four. Maddie is on a roll.
Tiger: Williams breaking it up again.
Nelson: Schumaker is back and looks like she’s ready to go…
[Maddie throws her hardest punch yet, a strong right hand that goes across the right side of her face. Schumaker just falls to the mat.]
Hart: She was ready to go. Now she’s ready to go to the locker room.
ONE
TWO
Nelson: Williams with the count.
THREE
FOUR
Hart: Stay down Lisa, it doesn’t get much better from here.
FIVE
SIX
SEVEN
Tiger: Nope, Schumaker won’t give up yet.
Nelson: Maddie is just standing there waiting for her.
Hart: Poor Lisa isn’t even going to be able to catch her breath.
Nelson: Nope.
[Maddie throws another strong right hand to the side of Schumaker’s face, as soon as Schumaker gets up. She falls down to the mat again, and just barely starts moving her feet.]
Nelson: BOOM. There’s the knockout punch.
Tiger: Williams is going to look at Schumaker right now.
Nelson: Maddie’s acting like she’s already won this thing.
Hart: I think Maddie just broke poor Lisa’s nose!
Nelson: Williams is calling for the bell.
DING DING DING
Dixon: Your winner of this match, MAD MADDIE!!!
Nelson: There you have it folks, what is likely the cWo’s first bare knuckle boxing match. And no surprise, Mad Maddie is involved and Mad Maddie wins it.
Tiger: If she’s pulling off stuff like this, I don’t even want to know what she’s capable of in the future.
[As Maddie celebrates in the ring, the crowd suddenly begins to cheer as Jen Diamond steps out from behind the entrance curtain with a microphone.]
Nelson: Wait a minute, we've got company!
Hart: Come on! Don't take this moment from Maddie!
[Jen puts the mic to her mouth.]
Jen Diamond: Hey Maddie.
[Maddie stares down the aisle at Jen]
Jen: Just because you don't have the belt anymore doesn't mean the bullseye on your back's gone away. I watched you over the last few months, and honestly, I wasn't too happy with what I saw. I said I was going to clean up this division, and it's your turn.
[Maddie motions. Jen laughs.]
Jen: No no, we're gonna do this right. Eye of the Storm, be there. And Maddie, I sure as hell ain't local talent.
[Maddie fumes as the crowd cheers and Jen Diamond turns and walks back behind the entrance curtain.]
Nelson: There you have it ladies and gentlemen, Maddie thought with the Title off her waist she had free reign to bully the other women of this industry but Jen Diamond wants to wrestle her, and not for a Title at Eye of the Storm, but out of pride. Some of the hardest working women in wrestling, wrestle for cWo, and Mad Maddie has a hell of a challenge ahead of her.
Tiger: Maddie's a tough girl though, Jen Diamond herself could be the one in over her head at Eye of the Storm, but let's talk about the main event. I've been anticipating this one all day, and I just had to get a word in with the challenger and the Champion. Tonight I provide a little insight into the minds going into tonight's Title match. Here's Barrett Hawk, stepping in the Tiger's Den...
[Backstage, Peter Tiger and Barrett Hawk are seated in the locker room as Peter begins to speak.]
Tiger: First off Hawk thank you for taking time out of your day to speak with me, I know you got a lot on your plate tonight.
Hawk: Don't mention it.
Tiger: I gotta know, what's gonna go through your head going into this match?
Hawk: Hoo! Well hopefully a lot less than there is now.
Tiger: You nervous?
Hawk: There are so many intangibles when it comes to facing Mike Logan, once I get in that ring I gotta be on. There's no doubt in my mind I have Mike Logan's number. I just gotta keep him in the ring, while keeping an eye on his lady.
Tiger: Not as easy as it sounds.
Hawk: Not by any stretch.
Tiger: You have plenty of experience wrestling Mike Logan at this point, but sometimes when gold is on the line it brings out the best of even guys like Logan. Do you expect that to be the case tonight?
Hawk: I'd be going about this all wrong if I didn't expect anything and everything. This is my first Title shot in cWo, my first World Title shot. I've worked damn hard this year to get where I am and I'm not taking it for granted. But if Logan had it in him to beat me all this time, things wouldn't have gotten this out o' hand. If tonight's match ends in pinfall or submission, it's gonna be me on the winning end of it.

[Bellatrix Drake stands in her locker room facing the wall. The camera moves along side of her to reveal two photos taped to the wall, one of them of Nox Bones and one of Cassie Charisma. Bellatrix points at the picture of Nox.]
Bellatrix: Tinker.
[She moves her pointing hand over to the picture of Cassie]
Bellatrix: Tae'lohr
[She points at Nox]
Bellatrix: Sold'ur
[She points at Cassie]
Bellatrix: Sail'er
[She begins to go faster with the counting game, speaking and pointing almost in rapid succession.]
Bellatrix: Rich mun. Poor Mun.. Beggar.
[Her hand stops, pointing at Nox's picture.]
Bellatrix: Thief.
[With her counting game complete, she scowls at her choice. She thinks it over, then walks to the wall and rips both pictures down. She holds a photo in each hand and looks down at them. ]
Bellatrix: Haffta be fair, lovelies. I choose both of ye.
[She crumples the photos, then throws them to the floor.]
Nelson: Eye of the Storm just got that much more action packed cWo fans, Bellatrix Drake just openly took on all comers, Nox Bones and Cassie Charisma will both be in action against Women's Champion Bellatrix Drake in triple threat action!
Hart: Oh that's what she said. I thought she was singing Bjork on karaoke.
Nelson: Close! But not quite Robbie!
Dixon: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first weighing in at two hundred and twenty pounds, from Detroit, Michigan. CODY ONLY!
["This Calling" by All That Remains begins to play over the loudspeaker. Cody appears on the stage wearing his ring gear and a Cody Only shirt, looking the crowd over while tightening his wrist tape. He wrings his wrists slightly before walking down the ramp, pointing at fans. As he makes his way to the ring he extends his hand, high-fiving audience members before jogging up the ring steps. He then walks to the middle of the apron and pulls his shirt off, throwing it into the crowd before climbing into the ring under the top rope. He runs the ropes a few times, then stops to tug at the top rope before making his way to the corner.]
Nelson: Let's see if Cody's technical skills can even the size difference Mac possesses.
Hart: Not tonight.
Dixon: And his opponent, weighing in at three hundred pounds, from Woodland Park, New Jersey. Mac Johnson!
["One Day as a Lion" plays as John Pilchard leads Mac Johnson to the ring ro a chorus of boos. They get in the ring and Mac stares down Cody Only.]
Tiger: He's very intense, if he was just a nice guy, I might root for him.
Hart: He's a monster. Cody Only ain't gonna beat him.
DING DING DING
[Mac and Cody Only square off. They tie up and Mac drives Cody into the corner. Grabs him around the head and tosses him across the ring.]
Nelson: The power and strength Mac Johnson has and the smaller Cody Only create that fifteen foot toss.
Hart: I heard that Mac had threw a midget half way across town.
[Cody to his feet, throws and left leg kick, followed by a right body kick, hardly effecting Mac. Mac grunts like a bull and drops Cody with a big clothesline.]
Tiger: He's going to need more than those kicks to break down Mac Johnson.
Hart: Don't you know it, Peter!
[Mac lifts Cody to his feet and whips him across the ropes, catches him and lands a big sidewalk slam.]
Nelson: Cody is down, he's going to need something to regain some momentum, or else Mac may hurt him tonight.
Hart: He's already hurt, that's at least 15 days on the DL right there.
[Mac runs and bounces off the middle rope and lands a big moonsault.]
Tiger: Mac Tonight! Cody's in trouble.
Hart: This guy can do it all, he's a freak!
[Mac lifts Cody up on his feet and whips him across the ring and charges after and lands a big splash in the corner. He lands two more splashes and Cody falls to the ground.]
Nelson: He is showing no mercy tonight.
Tiger: When did he ever?
Hart: He's a great person once you get to know him. This is competition it would be wrong to take it easy on someone.
[Mac lifts Cody off the ground and sets him up in a pump handle position. Mac suddenly throws Cody to the ground and he slides out of the ring.]
[Suddenly, the feed of the match is replaced by a black screen with a lime-green computer style font saying "R.U.Red.E?" before the screen changes again, saying "10.08.09" and "Start.Transmission.". The feed goes to static before we cut to grainy black and white footage of "The Cult Of Personality" Caleb Knox wearing an Alpinestars baseball cap with a matching shirt, a black studded leather jacket, designer sunglasses, and Sean John piped jeans with a pair of Sneaux shoes as he leans with his back against a tree as he starts to speak.]
Caleb Knox: Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls... I have interrupted your regularly scheduled cWo program to save you, the loyal cWo fans, from boring wrestling from guys who look like Barney Rubble on HGH! For far too long, the fans have had to put up with people leeching off of this business, people like John Pilchard and Big Mac, people who manipulate and bully their way into the business and force their rhetoric and psychobabble down the people's throats. No more will the cancer cells of cWo infest this company with their unbearable wrestling because the "Prophet Of The People", the "Missionairy for the Masses", the "Thursday Night Highlight", "CK1" Caleb Knox has finally arrived to be the fans' anti-dote for plodding muscled-up simpletons like Big Mac. After all, like Morgan Spurlock proved in "Super Size Me"... Big Macs are bad for you! cWo, you are about to get a dose... of personality!
[The camera feed cuts out as the screen says "End.Transmission" as we go back to the regularly scheduled match.]
Nelson: Wow, Caleb Knox interupting Mac Johnson again and he is furious.
Hart: It's just wrong!
[Mac Johnson is fuming and shouting at the back stage area. The camera pans and reveals a man standing on the apron behind Mac.]
Tiger: That's Caleb Knox!!
Hart: Mac turn around!
[Mac turns around and sees Caleb Knox. Knox springboards and lands a missile dropkick, Mac hits the ground and rolls out of the ring. He tries to jump back in, but Pilchard is there to restrain him.]
Nelson: Caleb Knox making a huge impression tonight! He just knocked Mac Johnson clear off his feet. Maybe he isn't so dominant after all!
Hart: Please Joel!
[Mac backing up the aisle with Pilchard trying to calm him down while he continues to shout at Knox.]
[An electrician on a ladder works on a light fixture, his toolbox perches at the top of the ladder. The back door opens and Thaddeus Walker enters, accompanied by CB Fowler. Thaddues is dressed in his finest suit and looks fired up.]
Thaddeus: I'm about to bust, CB! My voice will be heard!
CB: Yeah, tell 'em, TW! Let 'em all know the score!
Thaddeus: You can bet your bottom dollar I will!
[As they walk down the hallway, the electrician accidentally moves to his left, almost falling. The ladder shakes, causing the toolbox to fall. THUNK! The toolbox hits Thaddeus right on the top of the head. Thaddeus hits the ground like a ton of bricks, CB runs over to him.]
CB: TW! TW, you OK? TW!

[The arena goes pitch black and fans become unusually silent as the cWo Tron flickers to life. Shakey Black and White footage that looks like it was shot with a handheld camera of a man from behind walking along a beach in the rain dressed in blue jeans, a white wife beater and no shoes is shown. The scene is replaced by a black screen and words written in he white.]
"When cWo needed a hero, he WAS cWo."
[The same choppy black and white footage comes back on and the man bends down and picks up a rock from the beach and skips it across the water.]
"When he "went too far" YOU turned your backs."
[Slowly the camera pans in closer to the man to reveal part of a tattoo across his shoulders, but not close enough to make it out.]
"When he lifted the dark cloud, YOU were ungrateful."
[The camera zooms even closer to the mans shoulders, the letters H T MADE E make up the tattoo with the straps of his tank top blocking out two letters but those are enough for the fans recognize him.]
"But that's ok, he doesn't even remember it happening."
[A smiling "Product of Hate" Josh Cantrell turns to face the camera.]
"Next week, "The Product of Hate" returns to cWo."
[We return to the announce booth.]
Nelson: Whoa...did you guys see what I just saw?
Tiger: I don't know, did you just see that Josh Cantrell is returning to cWo next week?
Nelson: I thought I was day dreaming. I thought we'd never see Josh Cantrell again after his controversial leave from cWo.
Tiger: We've never seen a quicker transition from the top of the world to the depths of madness as we did with Josh Cantrell. I can't imagine what brings Josh Cantrell back around these parts.
Nelson: Well coming up next folks is a big event in its own right. Chazz Mendel returns to action on Driven.
Tiger: It's been a while hasn't it?
Nelson: Dealing with family issues and nagging injuries, Chazz Mendel is ready to return to form here tonight in singles competition...
DING DING DING
Dixon: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
[The crowds starts to cheer as the introduction to "Tiger the Lion" by The Tragically Hip floats out the PA system. Gord Downie's voice croons over the music.]
"This is Tiger The Lion..."
"Give me the knuckles of Frisco..."
"If there's danger in the language, Gentlemen..."
"I suggest no further use of the two way radio..."
[The song kicks in and Chazz Mendel walks out onto the stage confidently.]
Dixon: Making his way down the aisle from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada! Weighing in at two hundred and twelve pounds! CHAAAAZZ MENDEL!!!
[Chazz slaps hands with the fans as he picks up his pace toward the ring. He reaches the ring steps quickly, giving the top step a slap before storming up them and into the ring quickly.]
Hart: Well, so much for father time!
[The cameras go from the announce table to Donna Dixon, who's standing in the ring with the referee, Sean Easton, and an older looking man with greying hair and beard wearing black traditional wrestling tights, elbow pads, and boots.]
Dixon: Standing in the ring to my left. His opponent, the fighting pride of Omaha Nebraska!
[The crowd cheers for their hometown hero.]
Dixon: HANK HAMMERSTEEEEEIIIIIN!!!
[Hammerstein throws his arms in the air to acknowledge the crowd.]
Nelson: Here we have Hank Hammerstein, who I'm told is somewhat of a local legend.
Tiger: Indeed he is, Joel. According to the locals here in Omaha, Hank Hammerstein has a devastating finishing move he calls the "Hammerstrike" that has brought this competitor great success in the past.
Hart: A past that looks to be long behind him! Where'd we find this geriatric from? The VFW?
Nelson: Robbie! Show some respect. The man is a local legend, and a hero to these people!
Hart: Whatever... These corn lovers don't know anything anyway. Let's encourage old father time here to wrestle... Who's he wrestling?
Nelson: Chazz Mendel is back in the ring and he's looking very confident going up against the local boy, Hank Hammerstein!
Hart: Boy? The man looks like he's fourty!
Nelson: It's figurative, not literal, Robbie. You of all people should be able to tell the difference.
Hart: Not when you say it...
Tiger: Tonight is the first time we're going to see Chazz Mendel in action since the brutal attack on he and the Mendel Family patriarch, Reg, two weeks ago at Summertime Bruise. An attack that was orchestrated by Notorious JON and Chazz's older brother, Reg Mendel Junior.
[Chazz does a few final stretches before stepping out of his corner.]
Hart: Reggie isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he's still dangerous!
Nelson: You have to think that this is still lingering in Chazz's mind. He tried to get at Face Turn two weeks ago with Devon Dice and Muru to no avail. And the night is young!
[Referee Sean Easton checks Chazz's boots and knee pads quickly. He then checks Hank Hammerstein's elbow pads and boots.]
Hart: Yeah yeah, revenge and all that. Last time Chazz tried to get revenge, he almost got killed by Nick Dangerous. What is with this guy?
[Easton calls for the opening bell.]
DING DING DING
Nelson: And there goes the opening bell! This contest is officially underway!
[Hammerstein comes out of his corner a little tentative as Chazz comes out quickly.]
Nelson: The Mendel's stick together, for better or worse.
Hart: Tell that to Reg Mendel Junior!
[Chazz and Hammerstein immediately lock up.]
Nelson: Collar and Elbow tie-up! They're starting this contest off in classic fashion.
Hart: booring!
[Hammerstein connects with a quick knee to the midsection before putting Chazz in a hammerlock.]
Nelson: And there's a hammerlock from Hank Hammerstein!
Hart: Think that's his signature move? HA! HA!
[Hammerstein applies pressure to Chazz's arm by wrenching up on it. Chazz looks for an elbow with his free arm, but doesn't catch anything.]
Nelson: Mendel comes up empty with the elbow.
[Hammerstein hooks a foot around Chazz's leg, and quickly grabs Chazz by the head and slamming him down backwards with a modified Russian Legsweep.]
Tiger: Nicely executed Russian Legsweep by Hank Hammerstein! He somehow kept Chazz's arm in that hammerlock position as he went took him down, doing extra damage to the arm and shoulder.
Hart: Look at the guy! Not hard to tell it's not his first rodeo.
[Hammerstein covers Mendel.]
Nelson: Lateral press!
ONE
[Chazz kicks out.]
Nelson: And we've got a kick out just before the count of two!
Tiger: Good strategy by Hank Hammerstein to isolate a body part, and do damage to it. If he can keep it up, it will pay big dividends on his next attempt to pin Chazz Mendel.
[Hammerstein picks Chazz up and fires a quick punch to the head before putting Chazz in an arm wringer.]
Nelson: Hank Hammerstein is working on the arm applying pressure with that arm wringer.
[Chazz slaps his shoulders and winces as Hammerstein applies pressure. Suddenly, with a burst of strength, Chazz grabs Hammerstein's arm with his free hand, spins, and reverses the arm lock.]
Nelson: There's a reversal! Nicely done by Chazz Mendel!
[Chazz fires an elbow into the tricep of Hank Hammerstein before sending him into the ropes with an Irish Whip.]
Tiger: He's picking up the pace! Hammerstein better watch out!
[Hammerstein rebounds off the ropes and Chazz connects with a spinning wheel kick, taking Hammerstein down.]
Nelson: BIG spinning wheel kick from Chazz Mendel! Right in the kisser!
[Chazz pops to his feet as Hammerstein starts to get to his while holding his jaw. Chazz charges in and pops him in the jaw with a forearm shiver.]
Nelson: And a forearm shot for good measure!
[Chazz attempts another forearm, but Hammerstein shoots in and charges Mendel back first into the corner.]
Nelson: Good counter by Hank Hammerstein! When all else fails, ram your opponent into the turnbuckles!
Tiger: When you're in the ring against someone like Chazz Mendel, you have to do whatever you can to gain the advantage.
[Hammerstein is breathing heavy as he hits Chazz in the side with a right hand.]
Hart: Hank looks like he could use a geritol right about now!
[Hammerstein grabs Chazz and sits him on the top turnbuckle.]
Nelson: Hank looks like he's trying to set something up here. Could it be the infamous Hammerstrike?
Tiger: If it is, Chazz Mendel needs to get worried, FAST.
[Hammerstein starts to climb the ropes as well, but Chazz answers with a left hand to the head.]
Nelson: He's fighting off the advances of Hank Hammerstein!
Hart: EEEW!
[Chazz slams another left to Hank's head, which causes him to lose his footing. The crowd starts to cheer as Chazz hooks Hammerstein's head and throws his hand into the air.]
Nelson: This isn't good for Hank!
[Chazz jumps out and takes Hank Hammerstein down with a Tornado DDT.]
Nelson: Tornado DDT from Chazz Mendel!
Tiger: The crowd definitely likes that one! That's got to be it!
[Chazz gets back to his feet, and looks at the top rope once again.]
Nelson: It's time for the Fated Circle! Chazz is on his way to the top!
[Suddenly, Victor Emmit emerges from the crowd armed with a steel chair, and hits Chazz from behind while on the apron, sending Chazz sommersaulting to his back on the mat.]
Nelson: Wait a minute!
[Victor Emmit stomps away on Chazz Mendel as Sean Easton calls for the bell.]
DING DING DING
Nelson: Victor Emmit just interrupted this match with a stinging chairshot from the back!
[Then, Notorious JON and Tito Barnes rush down the entrance way to join in on the attack. Victor Emmit sits Chazz Mendel up and delivers firey right hands to the head. As Jon and Tito enter the ring, they too join in, stomping at the body of Chazz Mendel.]
Hart: It's Face Turn!
Tiger: What's left of it, anyway.
Nelson: And they're ganging up on Chazz Mendel! What's this all about!
[The three stop beating on Chazz as Tito and Victor bring him up to his feet. Notorious JON then hooks him in and hits a backbreaker.]
Nelson: Backbreaker!
Tiger: I've heard that Chazz still feels pain in his back stemming from his epic battle with Nick Dangerous!
[Jon keeps Chazz rested on his knee following the backbreaker. Tito Barnes then gets down on all fours.]
Nelson: What's going on?
[Victor gets a running start, and leaps off of the back of Tito to the top rope, and rebounds off the top with a leg drop on the chest of Chazz Mendel.]
Hart: What a move!
Nelson: Face Turn just hit a variation of Victor Emmit's Stairway to Heaven on Chazz Mendel!
Tiger: That looked brutal!
[Notorious JON high fives his cohorts as they celebrate.]
Nelson: Members of Face Turn high fiving each other. Acting like a bunch of grade schoolers.
[Victor Emmit gets back to work, as he takes his steel chair, and folds it on Chazz's ankle.]
Tiger: Doesn't look like they're finished...
Nelson: This doesn't look good at all.
[Tito and Jon encourage Victor as he climbs to the top rope.]
Nelson: They're looking to shatter Chazz Mendel's foot!
[Suddenly, fans cheer as Devon Dice and Muru storm out from the back.]
Nelson: But it's Dice and Muru! Dice and Muru thank God!
[Tito and Jon warn Victor as he's climbing, as the three change their minds and scatter out through the crowd.]
Tiger: This is chaotic!
[Devon Dice tends to Chazz Mendel as Muru stands up on the second turnbuckle and looks over on the scattered and scurrying Face Turn.]
Nelson: We'll be back folks!

[As driven comes back from commercial break the trio of Muru, Devon Dice and a wounded Chazz Mendel are still standing in the ring]
Nelson: Welcome back to Driven! As you can see Muru, Dice and Mendel are still in the ring.
Tiger: They have been standing here since running off Face Turn and the fans have been cheering them on..
Hart: I don't even know what Muru and Dice are doing out here. They had no business being out here!
Nelson: Mendel was being attacked Robbie. Are they just supposed to do nothing?
Hart: That works for me!
[Muru reaches for a microphone]
Muru: You know what...this had got to stop. I am sick of it...
[He looks over to Mendel and Dice]
Muru: We are sick of it. You guys come out here and try to isolate us and take us out one by one. As you can see we are all still standing. I have said it before you guys are nothing but cowards. When the numbers get even you turn tale and run. It is either that or you send other people to take the punishment you have coming to you. So here is what I propose. There are three of us, and there are three of you. I say Eye of the Storm we have a six man tag match and settle this once and for all.
[The fans cheer at the announcement as a somewhat tired and frantic Victor Emmit then appears backstage on the big screen.]
Emmit: Hey! HEY! Up here bro. Listen up. You don't call the shots around here, in cWo Face Turn make the rules!
Muru: I thought you might say that and I am not surprised. But you are right, we can't force you into a match with us. But you might want to listen up to this next part Victor, I think you will want to hear this. We have a little unfinished business so next week it is going to be you versus me one on one, and before you start to complain this comes from the office of Tony Awesome so you don't have a choice.
[Emmit begins to throw a tantrum and JON tries to calm him down]
Muru: It isn't all bad. If you manage to beat me we can just forget about this six man match. So what do you say? Oh yeah you have no choice!
Emmit: Whatever man, I'm not scared of you. See what just happened to your boy there was a pre-emptive strike, we know you're rallying the troops. We know you're trying to stack the deck! Ask Chazz how he's feelin' 'cause it's gonna come ten fold for you pal.
Muru: That's the spirit. I will see you next week.
[Muru lowers the microphone before raising it again]
Muru: Oh yeah, and for the rest of you...we will see at Eye of the Storm!
[Muru drops the microphone as his music begins to play]
Nelson: Next week it will be Victor Emmit versus Muru. If Muru wins he Devon Dice and Chazz Mendel will finally get a chance to get their hand on Face Turn.
Tiger: It should be a great match up. I know Victor Emmit hasn't shown it much lately but he can really go inside the ring when he is motivated.
Hart: This isn't fair!
Nelson: Well as they say, all's fair in love and war, and that's exactly what this is, a war!
Tiger: Major development in this spat between Face Turn and cWo's finest, but let's cut away from this for a moment as we get a final word from Mike Logan as he steps inside the Tiger's Den!
[We return to the set of the Tiger's Den as Mike Logan is in the seat previously occupied by Barrett Hawk.]
Tiger: Mike, a lot of people question your actions lately in your prior matches questioning that you might actually be afraid of Barrett Hawk. How do you address those claims?
Logan: Afraid? No way. I call it being smart because I'd rather live to fight another day than risk jeapordizing my championship run.
Hawk: Well so far we've seen you walk out on a match against him, and then you got disqualified the second time around, with the Title on the line this time around, do you have any surprises in store for us?
Logan: If I told you what surprises "The Loga-Conda" has in store for "Hop-Along Hay-Seed", I'd have to kill you...
Tiger: How do you compare your current reign as Champion to previous World Heavyweight Champions?
Logan: I would go as far to say as my championship run has the chance to be greater than any other championship run in cWo history. I am the best wrestler this roster has and I prove it every night by making my opponent look like a million bucks.

Nelson: Welcome back folks. We're getting ready for the night's main event, but tonight's been a shocking night, two women's matches announced, Josh Cantrell is scheduled for a return to cWo next week, but the surprises don't end there. A familiar face wanted to make his presence known before tonight's main event. Look at this special message.
[Johnny Serious sits in front of a black back drop, his shoulder in a sling.]
Serious: It's been a few weeks, and reality has yet to set in. I sit here, my arm in a sling, without the cWo World CHampionship, and though I have lost the World Title, my only regret is that I let the fans of cWo down by allowing a piece of garbage like Mike Logan to be the one to take me down. I should be pissed. I should SERIOUSLY be mad as hell, but surprisingly, I am not. In fact, I look forward to this new role that has come upon me.....
....you see Mike Logan, as World Champion, there was a certain level of SERIOUS responsibility that I had. A Responsibility to protect the honor of the cWo World Championship title and the honor of those who have held it before me. My strategy in the ring was based upon that responsibility. Well....NOT ANY MORE!!!!!!
....Now for those who know my career, they should be able to go back to two very SERIOUS matches that I have had. One, with Nick Dangerous, and the other, with Heretic. Some will call these two matches the most sadistic I have ever been involved in. Well....MIKE LOGAN! YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING YET!!!!!
....see, for months now, I have been the Champion, but now, I finally get to be the hunter. The Predator! And Mike Logan. You are the number one target! I don't care about the championship, it's just about making sure you get what you deserve. And you can ask Nick Dangerous, you can ask Heretic! When this side of Johnny Serious comes out, you better be ready to run. Because Mike Logan, you and I, we are going to settle this thing! You try to run, I'll hunt you down. You run and go home....I'll be under your bed! You and try to give up....well, believe me, I won't let that happen Mike Logan! Some day soon Mike Logan, we will run into each other, and for you, well....it doesn't look too pretty.....
[The Camera zooms right into the face of Johnny Serious]
.......So my last question to you Mike Logan is.....ARE YOU READY TO GET SERIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!
[Serious looks into the camera, and then gets up and walks away. We return to shots of the arena as the announcers speak.]
Nelson: I hope Mike Logan wasn't watching that, or he might not be able to think straight through tonight's main event!
Tiger: Johnny Serious is coming back? Is the cWo big enough for Josh Cantrell and Johnny Serious to both make their returns? This is awesome news!
Nelson: Big time stuff, and it only gets bigger. It's time for our World Championship match!
World Championship Match
["Simple Man" hits the PA system. As the intro passes, Barrett Hawk, looking focused, walks slowly down the aisle with the American flag draped over his shoulders, and his trademark cowboy hat on his head.]
Nelson: Well the time for talking is over. No time for Mike Logan to run, to place to hide, Barrett Hawk gets his due World Heavyweight Championship opportunity tonight and you can tell he's taking it seriously.
Tiger: He worked hard to get this far. This is Barrett Hawk's first World Title match. It's worth noting that this is actually Barrett Hawk's first Championship match since joining the cWo little over a year ago.
Nelson: Little over a year ago Barrett Hawk met Mike Logan and the two didn't take long to take issue with one another. One year later and now these two are going at it with World Title implications.
Tiger: Well the cWo environment is ever-changing.
[Barrett Hawk stands at ringside, as he carelessly throws his cowboy hat towards the fans to his left, and the American flag from his shoulder to the fans on the right, then enters the ring, taking to the second rope, gesturing his love to the audience.]
Nelson: Barrett Hawk becoming World Champion tonight would be change I can believe in.
Hart: You would just love that wouldn't you?
[The lights go out and turn a cherry shade of red as a red carpet rolls down the ramp-way while "The Stroke" by Billy Squire begins to play over the P.A. system to a loud chorus of boos. We then see Mike Logan decked out in a Giorgio Armani business suit with designer sunglasses and the newly won cWo World Heavyweight Championship over his shoulder with the lovely Sabrina Swallows by his side, wearing a very skimpy two-piece black leather dress as Logan hoists the belt up in the air, whilst making his stride down the aisle.]
Hart: Talk up Barrett Hawk all you want, you can cross your fingers and your legs and get your hopes all up but let me tell you something. This is a real Champion. He looks like a Champion, he talks like a Champion, he lives like a Champion.
Nelson: He runs like a Champion.
Hart: Heh well you know, why not? He's the Champ!
Nelson: I don't care if you're the President of the United States, if you're a cWo wrestler you adhere to the rules of the ring. Mike Logan has the talent to earn that Title, but he has a high school mentality. He doesn't behave like a Champion.
[As Mike Logan struts into the ring and hoists his championship in the air, laughing at the fans booing him. He and Sabrina are settled in the ring as Mic Benson takes center stage with the microphone.]
DING DING DING
Benson: The following contest is our maaaaain event! And is for the World Heavyweight Championship!
[Fans cheer as Logan rolls his eyes at the applauding fans.]
Benson: Introducing first, to my left, the challenger. He weighs two hundred and twenty pounds, from Sulphur Oklahoma. The Simple Man, Barreeeeett Hawk!
[Hawk again gestures his love for the crowd as they cheer his introduction.]
Hart: Look at how nervous he is!
Nelson: Sssssh.
Benson: And to my right, the Champion...
[As Benson continues, fans already begin booing.]
Benson: Weighing in at two hundred and forty six pounds and is from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The Canadian Gigolo...Mike Loooooogaaaaaan!
Nelson: It's no secret that the fans here in Omaha don't appreciate our World Champion.
Hart: Ah they're just jealous. Who wouldn't wanna be Mike Logan?
[Johnny Williams approaches Mike Logan, requesting the World Championship, but before he hands it over, he looks to Hawk and presses the Title against his genitals, then begins gyrating his hips.]
Nelson: Times like this I have to again remind you, that's our World Champion folks.
Hart: We know, Joel!
[Logan hands the World Championship to Williams, who holds it in the air to the crowd.]
Tiger: Take a look at what's at stake here guys.
Nelson: It's not every day we get a World Heavyweight Championship match at Driven.
[Williams hands the Title to Mic Benson, who takes the Title out of the ring, meanwhile, Sabrina Swallows and Mike Logan give each other a quick peck on the lips before she makes her leave as well.]
DING DING DING
[Hawk walks slowly towards the center of the ring, ready for action, as Mike Logan keeps his distance. Hawk awaits Logan to make a move, but as Logan hesitates, Hawk instead closes in on Logan, who backs away and leans his upper body out of the ring between the top and middle rope. Williams backs Hawk away.]
Nelson: This match is under way, but Mike Logan in no rush to get physical with Hawk. No surprise there.
Hart: Hey his World Title is on the line Joel what's the rush?
[Logan decides he's ready as he steps back into the center of the ring. Logan puts his right hand up in an attempt to engage in a test of strength.]
Hart: See Logan wants to do this right. Test of strength, see who the better man is!
[Logan entices Hawk, as cameras catch him saying "what do you say Hayseed!"]
Hart: Maybe it'll be enough to change Hawk's mind about having this match! Ah!
[Hawk instead kicks Logan in the gut, and delivers a chop to his chest.]
Hart: Looks like Hawk's too scared to find out!
Nelson: Hawk unwilling to let Logan dictate the pace of the match as we are underway. World Heavyweight Championship at stake-
[Hawk continues his offense, with two follow up knife edge chops.]
Hart: We get it Joel!
Nelson: The Simple Man taking on the Canadian Gigolo. Polar opposite sides of the spectrum colliding here tonight.
[Hawk hits a European uppercut to send Logan stumbling into the ropes. He follows up with an irish whip into the opposite side.]
Tiger: And it's paying off to be Simple right now!
[On the rebound, Barrett Hawk connects with a high leg lariat to take down Logan.]
Nelson: That it is as Hawk goes for the win right here!
ONE
Nelson: But it's a bit early as the Champion gets a shoulder up.
[Mike Logan attempts a recovery, but on his way up Barrett catches him in a side headlock.]
Nelson: But the pressure is on as Hawk cinches in a headlock.
[Logan struggles to break free. After holding in the headlock for a moment Logan backs against the ropes and shoots Hawk off to the opposite side..]
Nelson: Hawk now sent to the ropes.
[On the rebound the two men collide in an attempt to take each other down with a shoulder block, but Logan gets the upper hand as he takes Hawk down.]
Hart: Haha!
Nelson: Hawk down.
[Logan leaps over Hawk's downed body to try and run against the ropes, but Hawk quickly trips him by grabbing the legs.]
Nelson: Wait a minute...
[Hawk gets up and begins setting up for the Texas Cloverleaf.]
Nelson: Texas Cloverleaf!...
Hart: Nooo no!
[Hawk attempts to cross the legs, but Logan pushes Hawk backwards using his legs.]
Hart: Yes!
Nelson: Logan saves himself from the submission attempt...
[Logan quickly gets up and charges Hawk with a clothesline but Hawk ducks under it.]
Nelson: Misses a clothesline!
[Hawk begins digging into the jaw of Logan with repeated right snap jabs.]
Nelson: Series of jabs from Barrett Hawk!
[Hawk sends Logan in a daze with the repeated blows to the head. Hawk goes for a final discus right hand, but Logan ducks under it.]
Hart: Oh!
[Fans boo as Logan quickly thumbs Hawk in the eyes.]
Nelson: Now wait a minute...
[Hawk is left momentarily blinded as Logan uses the opportunity to scoop Hawk up from behind with a schoolboy pin.]
Hart: That's it!
ONE
[Logan puts his feet up on the second rope for leverage.]
TWO
[Johnny Williams is heard shouting "hey!" as he takes notice of the legs of Logan. Logan breaks the pin as he sits on his knees and complains.]
Nelson: Mike Logan taking issue with Johnny Williams, who has the nerve not to let the Champ cheat to win.
Hart: Maybe he didn't have any leg room did you think of that?
[Logan takes little time to argue however as he sees Hawk recovering, trying to shake off the irritation in his eyes, Logan pounces on him and crosses Hawk's right arm around his own neck and holds him to the ground. Logan then delivers rapid right hands to the head of Hawk.]
Tiger: Well the Champ is really letting Hawk have it now.
[Johnny Williams urges Logan to take it easy as he delivers close fisted blows, Williams starts a count to five.]
Hart: Johnny Williams needs to get off Logan's back, this is a Title match! Be professional!
Nelson: Tell that to Logan.
[Logan stops at a count of four, as he gets up and in Williams' face again.]
Nelson: Surprised he didn't go all the way and get himself disqualified right there. I'll give credit where credit is due.
Hart: Why do you gotta be such a downer Joel?
[Logan again focuses back on Hawk, coming down on him with a falling fist drop.]
Hart: Everyone's trying to enjoy tonight's main event and you keep taking shots at the Champ!
[Logan mounts Hawk again, clutching him by the head, he then unloads another barrage of right hands.]
Nelson: I'm just calling the action as I see it.
Hart: You gotta at least try to be more objective, you know some rules are made to be broken!
[Logan lets Hawk go at another count to four, as he goes for a pin.]
Hart: This could be over in record time!
ONE
Nelson: Hawk kicks out.
[Logan then sits Hawk up and places him in a full nelson.]
Nelson: Logan now locking in a full nelson. Perhaps the first move in Logan's arsenal so far that won't get him in hot water.
Hart: What's he doing here?
[While the full nelson is applied, Mike Logan begins turning Hawk over to his stomache.]
Tiger: It looks like...
[Logan successfully turns Hawk on his stomache.]
Tiger: It looks like a hybrid of a full nelson and a camel clutch here and if Hawk doesn't do something quick, this could be over quickly! His arms are restricted, his neck is being strained, his back is bent against its will.
Hart: He should tap out!
Nelson: I have a feeling Barrett Hawk wouldn't forgive himself if this submission hold became the final chapter of his road to becoming World Champion.
[Using his hands, Hawk attempts to pry Logan's hands off the back of his head.]
Nelson: Hawk doing whatever he can, with what few limbs he has available to break free but this is one hell of a hold to have to escape from.
Tiger: A credit to the skill of Mike Logan, he might be partial to shortcuts but a hold like this, you really have to earn it.
[Hawk's struggle pays off as Logan's grip loosens, immediately, Hawk squirms backwards and through the legs of the Champion.]
Nelson: A hard hold to maintain however as Hawk frees himself.
Hart: You know he's hurtin' though!
[Logan readjusts himself and delivers a stomp to the back of the head of Hawk, who rolls away from Logan trying to create separation between the two of them. Hawk climbs up to his hands and knees, as Logan catches up and helps him to his feet.]
Nelson: Control is in the hands of Mike Logan right now, and Logan makes it clear with a right hand.
[Hawk falls to one knee after a hard right punch from Logan. Logan assists Hawk back up to both feet, as he knees him in the gut.]
Hart: C'mon, get 'em, Mike!
[Logan takes Hawk down towards the center of the ring with a gutwrench suplex.]
Nelson: Side suplex to take the challenger down!
[Logan goes for a pin.]
ONE
TWO
Nelson: Two count!
Tiger: Gotta wonder how that camel clutch is gonna affect Hawk the rest of this match, he wasn't in there long, but I think he was in it long enough to become a key factor.
[As Hawk attempts to recover, Logan delivers a hard kick to the right shoulder. Hawk sits up on his knees clutching his shoulder, when Logan follows up with a boot to the head that draws loud "oooohs" from the crowd.]
Hart: Ow!
Nelson: Ugly offense from Logan.
[Logan covers Hawk with a lateral press.]
Nelson: Does the Champion retain?
ONE
TWO
Nelson: No, Hawk won't quit.
[Hawk sits up, rattling his fists trying to gather crowd support, as Logan then grabs him by the hair and helps him to his feet. Carelessly, Logan pushes Hawk back into the turnbuckle.]
Nelson: Hawk now being sent to the corner.
[Logan delivers a knife edge chop.]
Nelson: Again I'm gonna give the devil his due and say Mike Logan is looking very sharp right now.
Hart: He's laying into him and not only that, he's making it look easy!
[Logan nails another knife edge chop, but this time Hawk immediately fires back with a chop of his own.]
Nelson: You may have spoke too soon there Robbie!
[Hawk fires back with another chop, but Logan stops his comeback short with a knee to the mid section and a european uppercut.]
Hart: It's like I said, he's making it look easy!
[Logan follows up, whipping Hawk to the opposite corner.]
Nelson: Maybe so as Hawk is sent to the opposite corner and...
[Logan rushes in on Hawk with a clothesline in the corner.]
Nelson: And a big time clothesline from the Champion.
[Hawk sulks into the corner, huffing and puffing as Logan takes a moment to take in the anti-Logan crowd. He puts his hands on his head and gyrates his hips.]
Nelson: Mike Logan making sure Hawk isn't the only one having a bad time right now.
[Fans boo as Logan gets back to work. He brings Hawk up to his feet, and grabs him by the hand. He attempts to pull Hawk in for a short arm clothesline, but Hawk ducks under it.]
Nelson: Logan misses a clothesline!
[Hawk then takes Logan down with a German suplex.]
Nelson: German suplex from out of nowhere! With a bridge!
ONE
TWO
Nelson: Two count!
Hart: Barely!
Nelson: Hawk could've snuck the win in with that suplex but it wasn't to be. Both men are down, that suplex if anything bought Hawk some time to rest.
Hart: It won't be enough after what Mike Logan put him through I can garauntee that!
Nelson: Only time can be sure of that.
[Hawk sits up, looking worn out as Logan climbs up to his feet from his hands and knees. He looks at Hawk, who's struggling to his feet, and approaches him.]
Hart: You don't have to be a fortune teller to know it's gonna take a miracle for Hawk to get this match to go his way.
[Logan greets Hawk with a right hand to the head to keep him in a daze, followed by another.]
Nelson: More of those right hands from Logan.
[Logan sets Hawk up in a suplex position.]
Nelson: Now wait a minute.
Hart: I think Logan just reached an epiphany!
[Logan tries to lift Hawk up for the suplex, but Hawk resists.]
Nelson: I think Hawk might know what's going on here.
Hart: He could be going for the Sex Drive!
Nelson: Not if Hawk can help it.
[After a struggle for the suplex, it's instead Hawk who lifts up Logan.]
Nelson: Look out! Logan's up with no place to LAND!
[Nelson becomes excited as the suplex spills over the top rope and both men fall to the mat outside.]
Nelson: The ring couldn't contain these two men and now both men are down and out on the outside!
Tiger: Can you believe that? How often do you see something like that? There was no place for Barrett Hawk to drop Logan so instead he sacrificed himself in that dangerous fall to the outside!
Nelson: Let's take a look at that again.
[The screen splits into two as we see both men down on the left, while on the right we see Logan attempting to hoist Hawk up in the air.]
Nelson: Logan was in a prime position to go for the Sex Drive, but then..
[We see Hawk lifting Logan in the air for a suplex of his own, as he and Logan flip over the top rope.]
Tiger: What a dangerous spill, their bodies contorting over the top rope, someone could have landed on their head or neck and it could've been a career with that move.
Nelson: Referee Johnny Williams counting the two men out for a disqualification.
[Williams continues his count as he reaches a four.]
Tiger: I wouldn't be surprised to see a double count out here.
FIVE
[Both men begin climbing up to their feet.]
Nelson: I don't wanna see this match end like this. Nor do these people.
Hart: I'll take it!
SIX
Nelson: Of course you would, but I'm not.
Hart: You might not have a choice!
SEVEN
[Both men are up, as Hawk attempts to slide into the ring, Logan grabs him by the legs.]
Nelson: Hawk trying to get back in the ring, but Logan is keeping him out!
Tiger: Is he looking to get them both disqualified?
EIGHT
Hart: Why not? He'd retain his title that way!
Nelson: No not like this!
[Fans become anxious as Hawk begins wailing on the head of Logan with right hands.]
NINE
Nelson: Hawk fighting to get free!
[With Logan stunned, Hawk rolls him into the ring.]
Nelson: Too close as both men are in the ring!
[In a panicked mood, Logan rushes to his feet as Hawk follows after. Both in the ring, Logan hits Hawk with a right hand.]
Nelson: And a right hand to Hawk!
[Hawk responds with a European uppercut. Logan comes back with a right forearm.]
Nelson: Both men trading blows.
[Hawk again comes in with a European uppercut. The two trade blows back and forth groggily.]
Tiger: Something's got to give!
[After another forearm from Logan, Hawk responds with a snap jab, followed by several more after that.]
Nelson: And a combination of jabs, Hawk looks to be re-energized!
[Logan is stunned after the series of rights, allowing for Hawk to once again try for a discus right hand, which connects and floors Logan.]
Nelson: And there's the knockout blow!
[Hawk goes for the pin.]
Nelson: Pin!
ONE
TWO
Nelson: No! Kickout! But Hawk not taking any time to rest!
[Hawk brings Logan up to his feet, and takes him down with a scoop slam.]
Nelson: And there's a slam from Hawk.
[Logan doesn't take time to rest as he gets right back up to his feet, nursing his back. Hawk brings him back down with a back elbow.]
Tiger: Hawk's definitely found a second wind!
[Hawk goes against the ropes as Logan recovers again. On the rebound Hawk takes Logan down with a cross body block.]
Nelson: Cross body!
[Hawk comes down on Logan, but Logan rolls backwards using the momentum of the move with a pin of his own.]
Hart: Not so fast boys!
Nelson: Logan changes course!
ONE
TWO
Nelson: He kicks out!
Hart: Look at this!
[Using his strength, Logan hoists Hawk up in the air in a press slam position.]
Hart: Where does he get that strength!?
Tiger: That's impressive, no doubt.
[Logan looks to attempt a fallaway slam, but Hawk squirms and turns it into a sunset flip.]
ONE
TWO
Nelson: Logan kicks out1
Tiger: I thought we had a new Champion!
[Both men rise to their feet, as Logan aggressively charges Hawk, who takes him down with a back body drop.]
Nelson: Not now but Hawk could be very close.
Hart: This can turn around in an instant!
[Barrett Hawk exits the ring to the apron as he looks over a downed Mike Logan.]
Hart: I mean look at Hawk, I said earlier it would take a miracle for him to come back and he came back, Logan doesn't need miracles!
[Hawk hits Mike Logan with a springboard clothesline.]
Nelson: I hope you're sure about that Robbie because Hawk is making it hard to believe.
[After hitting the clothesline, Hawk again rolls towards the ropes and escapes to the apron.]
Tiger: He could be moments AWAY!
[Tiger comes unglued as Hawk continues his streak with a springboard elbow drop.]
Nelson: A succession of top rope high flying moves and we could have a new Champion!
[Hawk goes for the pin.]
ONE
TWO
[Hawk sits on his knees looking at Johnny Williams in shock.]
Nelson: No! Logan kicks out!
Tiger: I keep believe Hawk has it but Logan keeps surprising me with the wherewithal to kick out!
Hart: I'm not surprised at all!
Tiger: You sure looked surprised.
Hart: It just sunk in that Josh Cantrell is back next week! That's all!
Nelson: Well even Barrett Hawk was caught off guard by that kick out.
Tiger: That could be seen as a moment of weakness Joel, he should stay on point, not give Logan any time to recover.
Nelson: I can't argue that. It's so easy to let emotions take over when you're as close as Hawk is to realizing a dream.
[Hawk cuts his thumb across his throat to symbolize the end of the match.]
Nelson: Hawk now gonna get his eyes back on the prize. It looks like he's once again headed for that top rope.
Tiger: He hits that Country Bump and there's no doubt this match will be over.
[Hawk climbs to the top rope, as Logan is down and out.]
Nelson: He's one move away from World Championship glory!
[Logan has the wherewithal as Hawk steadies himself on the top, to roll away from the threat of the Country Bump.]
Hart: Ahah! Look at Logan!
[Logan rolls all the way out of the ring, breathing heavily as Sabrina Swallows rushes to his aid. Logan is heard saying "get the belt", as Hawk steps down from the top rope. Referee Johnny Williams holds out his arms and shrugs his shoulders at the act.]
Hart: Never count out the Champ!
Nelson: Never count out the Champ? The Champ is literally about to be counted out!
[Williams begins the ten count, as fans boo Mike Logan walking away.]
ONE
Nelson: This is a real deja vu from two weeks ago, the first time Mike Logan turned tail and walked away from a match with Hawk!
TWO
[Fans boo as Logan pays no mind to the fans. He slowly backs away as Sabrina scurries to hand him his World Championship.]
THREE
[Barrett Hawk shakes his head in disapproval as he exits the ring, and follows after. A look of fear appears on Logan's face as he begins to walk away a bit faster.]
Hart: Keep Hawk in the ring Johnny!
Nelson: Barrett Hawk isn't gonna stand by and let this happen twice!
[Hawk rushes after Logan, who begins running away, but Hawk catches up and grabs him by the head.]
Nelson: Not so fast says Barrett Hawk!
[Logan's eyes bulge as he wants desperately to get away, but with a handful of his hair, Hawk pulls him more towards the ring, and delivers a hard right hand that drops Logan to the ramp below, as he rolls backwards toward the ring.]
Nelson: Barrett Hawk introducing some discipline into Mike Logan.
[As Logan recovers from the floor, Hawk catches up with him and throws him into the ring.]
Nelson: It's time for Mike Logan to eat crow!
[Hawk follows after Logan, but as he steps over the second rope to enter the ring, Mike in a hurry kicks the second rope, which rises up to Hawk's genitals.]
Nelson: Wait a minute!
[Fans let out an "oooooh" as he's stopped in his tracks. Mike Logan then hooks him in a suplex position with Hawk's legs propped up on the second rope.]
Nelson: Mike Logan just used the ropes...
Hart: Call it a technical foul and move on!
Nelson: No!
[Mike Logan hits the Sex-Drive with Hawk propped on the second rope.]
Hart: So much for Barrett Hawk!
[Mike Logan arrogantly slaps his hands together to symbolize that his job's done as fans boo.]
Nelson: Mike Logan just found another shortcut for the third week in a row!
Hart: No use hiding from what you're good at!
[Mike goes for the pin.]
ONE
TWO
Tiger: No way, his foot's on the rope!
[Fans roar as the ref stops at two, pointing out the foot of Barrett Hawk's which he just rested on the bottom rope.]
Nelson: And Mike Logan is just as surprised as we are!
[Logan is irate as he shouts to Johnny Williams "you gotta be kidding me!". He gets up and argues back and forth with Williams.]
Hart: Come on Mike, finish him off!
[Logan stops arguing with Williams and pulls Hawk away from the ropes.]
Hart: This is it!
[He goes for another pin.]
ONE
TWO
Nelson: He kicks out again!
[Logan slaps his hand against the mat multiple times, looking frustrated.]
Tiger: Right now Logan's wondering what else he has to do to finish this match.
[Logan looks to be frustrated to a point where he's attempting to pull his hair out from his head. He looks to the outside of the ring for different options.]
Nelson: Every trick in the book has failed, low blows, disqualification attempts, what else does he have in his book of tricks?
[Logan rolls out of the ring, as he looks under the ring for something.]
Tiger: Hawk's at a breaking point, if Logan just continues his offensive streak this could be in the bag! I don't know what he's up to now.
Nelson: I think it's pretty clear that Mike Logan wants a weapon. It's too easy to assume he'd try doing this the right way.
Hart: He's doing things the Logaconda way!
[Johnny Williams urges Logan to get back in the ring.]
Nelson: Logan can't seem to find what he's looking for.
[Logan walks away from the apron as he looks to the time keeper. He shoves him carelessly off his folded chair, picks it up, and folds it.]
Hart: I think Logan's making a statement, if he gets disqualified he keeps the Title, one clean blow to the head with that steel chair and Hawk will know better than to keep pressing the issue!
Nelson: I think Logan is simply afraid of Barrett Hawk if you ask me.
Hart: No one asked you!
[Logan enters the ring.]
Tiger: This is a true moment of weakness for Mike Logan.
[As Hawk slowly recovers, Johnny Williams gets in Logan's face, warning him about hitting Hawk with the chair.]
Nelson: Johnny Williams trying to change Logan's mind, but I think he'd have a better time telling the sun to stop shining.
[Logan ignores the referee, as he slams the chair against the mat to psych himself up.]
Nelson: Don't do it Logan!
[Hawk gets up, as Logan pushes the ref back, Logan swings, but Hawk ducks, leaving Logan to hit Johnny Williams across the head.]
Hart: Johnny Williams you idiot!
Nelson: Hawk just dodged a chair shot and now Johnny Williams is down!
[Mike Logan looks down on Williams in shock, as Barrett Hawk then dropkicks the chair into Mike Logan's face.]
Nelson: Barrett Hawk with the dropkick!
Hart: Oh no!
[Barrett Hawk positions Logan away from the turnbuckle, as he looks to the crowd and points to the top rope.]
Nelson: There's no referee, but that's not stopping Barrett Hawk from doing what he needs to do and that's finish Mike Logan off once and for all!
Hart: I don't think Williams is getting up from that!
[Hawk continues climbing to the top rope.]
Nelson: We need a replacement referee out here!
[Hawk gestures his love for the audience before leaping off and hitting his finishing guillotine leg drop.]
Nelson: Country Bump! This is it!
[Hawk slowly slumps over Logan's body.]
Hart: No use in pinning him! There's no ref you moron!
[Suddenly cameras catch Hector Garcia rushing down the aisle. Fans cheer as he rushes down.]
Nelson: There will be soon!
Hart: No no no! That's not fair!
Nelson: Hector Garcia coming down the...wait a minute!
[Fans boo as Hector Garcia is stopped short by Mr. Rich, who appears out of nowhere, decking Garcia with a hard right hand. He follows up by stomping away on the downed referee.]
Tiger: Mr. Rich!?
Nelson: It's just one thing after another!
[Mr. Rich takes off his suit jacket, and turns his attention to Barrett Hawk, as Hawk takes notice of Mr. Rich.]
Hart: Looks like Mr. Rich has some unfinished business!
[Mr. Rich rushes a worn out Barrett Hawk with a barrage of right and left handed punches, Hawk crumbles to his knees as Rich focuses hard right hands on the Simple Man.]
Hart: He's letting him have it!
Nelson: Just when you think Mike Logan is out something like this happens. It's like he has some twisted guardian angel watching over him.
Hart: He has a guardian angel alright and his name is Mr. Rich!
[Hawk is down on the mat as Mike Logan slowly recovers. Meanwhile Mr. Rich sets Hawk up in his finishing Lion Tamer submission.]
Hart: Hawk is trapped in the Bad Investment!
Tiger: What about the match?
Hart: Forget the match! This is a beating!
[Logan gets down and talks trash in the face of a pained Barrett Hawk as fans boo heavily.]
Hart: It was a fun ride for Barrett Hawk but it's over now! There's no room at the top for a Simple Man!
Nelson: Mike Logan never gave him a chance! This stinks!
[Just then, over the PA system we hear a familiar voice exclaim "ARE YOU SERIOUS!?" as U2's Elevation plays.]
Nelson: Wait a minute!
[Mike Logan and Mr. Rich leave Hawk alone, as they prepare for the arrival of Johnny Serious.]
Tiger: Is he even here? I figured he taped his interview on location, I didn't expect to see him here tonight!
Hart: He doesn't want any part of this!
Nelson: There he is!
Hart: Oohhh no!
[Johnny Serious emerges from the locker room, in street clothes and his arm in a sling.]
Nelson: It's Johnny Serious!
Hart: He's a one armed man!
Tiger: He could be making a mistake coming out with a broken arm.
[Mike Logan and Mr. Rich welcome the challenge as Johnny Serious walks down the aisle.]
Hart: He's out of his mind, Logan and Rich are gonna put him back in the hospital!
Nelson: Johnny Serious, broken arm or not isn't the type of guy to sit back and let this happen if he can do something about it.
[Serious gets in the ring, as Mike Logan puts on a faux sympathetic face and clutches his right arm.]
Hart: Haha! Look at Logan!
[Suddenly the mood changes when Johnny Serious takes his arm out of the sling, and throws the sling aside.]
Hart: What!
Nelson: Looks like Johnny Serious is ready to go here!
[Mike Logan charges Serious, as Serious knocks him down with a right hand.]
Nelson: Right hand to Logan!
[He does the same to Rich.]
Nelson: And a right hand for Mr. Rich!
[Logan gets up as Serious takes him down with a body slam.]
Nelson: Scoop slam to Logan and it looks like his arm is doing fine!
[Serious grabs a recovered Mr. Rich by the head and slams him head first into the turnbuckle. He delivers a right hand to the head, followed by a chop to the chest.]
Nelson: Knife edge chop from the former World Champion!
Tiger: Lookout!
[Mike Logan comes charging in from behind, but Serious dodges, causing Logan to collide into Rich with a body avalanche.]
Nelson: Serious out of harm's way!
[Serious then hits the ropes as Rich and Logan stumble away from the turnbuckle. He comes at them with a double clothesline.]
Nelson: Serious takes both men down.
Tiger: Listen to this crowd!
[Mr. Rich slowly recovers, as Johnny Serious stalks over him.]
Hart: Lookout Rich!
[Rich gets up, as Serious kicks him in the stomache, and hits his finishing reverse Russian leg sweep.]
Hart: No!
Nelson: Mr. Rich just Got Serious'd!
Hart: This is horrible!
[Johnny Serious doesn't give Rich time to think as he immediately picks him up and throws him out of the ring.]
Nelson: And he's out of there!
Hart: Wait look at Logan now!
[Fans are anxious as Logan has his hands on the previously used steel chair, as Serious turns around, Logan reaches back for the swing, but a recovered Barrett Hawk grabs it.]
Nelson: Wait!
[Hawk turns Logan around and hoists him up for the tombstone piledriver.]
Nelson: Tombstone! Yes!
[Hawk dumps Logan on his neck.]
Nelson: That's it!
Tiger: There's still no referee!
[Hawk makes the pinfall attempt, as Johnny Serious tries in vain to wake up Johnny Williams.]
Hart: We got two referees and they're both out of it!
[Johnny Serious becomes impatient as he goes down and starts the pin himself.]
ONE
TWO
THREE
[Fans erupt as Barrett Hawk rolls off of Mike Logan and lies down on the mat.]
Hart: WHAT!
Nelson: Barrett Hawk is our new World Champion!
[Serious calls for the bell, after a short pause the bell is rung.]
DING DING DING
Hart: What! Johnny Serious has no right! He's not a referee!
[Simple Man hits the PA system as Serious excitedly tries to get Hawk up off the mat.]
Nelson: The bell was rung, the music is playing, Barrett Hawk did it! He's the new World Champion!
Hart: This can't be right!
Nelson: Logan used every trick in the book and destiny was on Barrett Hawk's side!
[Serious rushes out of the ring and retrieves the World Title.]
Nelson: What a moment, what a Driven this has been!
Tiger: Josh Cantrell is back next week, Serious returned tonight, and we have a new World Heavyweight Champion!
Hart: I can't believe this!
[Sabrina Swallows is seen on the outside of the ring screaming in disapproval. In the ring, Serious sits Hawk up on his knees and hands him the Title.]
Nelson: Triumphant is Barrett Hawk, World Heavyweight Championship in his hands!
Tiger: He's just as shocked as the rest of us!
Hart: There's no way this is gonna stick!
[Hawk becomes overwhelmed with emotion as he presses his face against the Championship. Serious pats him on the back, then looks to the fans, pointing to the newly anointed Champion.]
Nelson: What a moment! Johnny Serious passing down the Championship to Barrett Hawk! How will this affect Eye of the Storm?
Tiger: How will this affect the cWo?
[Excitedly, Hawk climbs to the turnbuckle and holds his Title in the air, as Sabrina Swallows takes to the ring and tries to wake Logan up.]
Nelson: When Logan comes to, he's gonna be livid.
Hart: He's gotta take this up with authorities. Logan got robbed!
Nelson: Logan just got a taste of his own medicine!...
[The show fades to black with Johnny Serious holding Hawk's arm in the air in victory.]
